1 week out with questions

hello all im one week out yesterday and have a question what did everyone eat on there pureed food im getting tired of jello and pudding and so far cant stomach protien drinks so what can i eat i already had some pureed ham with a little of mayo and a little cheese but is there anything else out there please help thanks in advanced lisa

Hi Lisa. Lets see when I was eating pureed I ate scrambled eggs, tuna with a little mayo, I found some canned beef hash reduced fat that was pretty good but I had to be very careful with that....soups too. Good luck my dear. It gets better and better and better every day.

MY favorite pureed dish which i am still on pureed i guess today is my step up day.....one month post op is: part skim mozzerella cheese, part skim ricotta cheese with spoonful of red sauce of my choice and microwave ! YUMMY... I have also made homemade chicken salad finely chopped up in a black and deckter chopper i got at walmart for $14, egg salad, shrimp salad, tuna salad...i love the lo carb/lo fat soup by campbells CHEDDAR chicken and broccoli, i blend up the small chunks to liquid.....mashed potatoes... ENJOY LISA

another meal i eat is : when the family has had taco's i had the refried beans and then another time they had tacos i had refried beans and some taco seasoned ground beef w/ some lo fat sourcream and cheese on it....no problems and chewed very well. (hope these ideas help u)

Lisa, Hun congrats on your surgery, I hope you are feeling well?.....~hugs~ I eat things like: tuna with low fat mayo canned salmon with mayo loose scrambled egg (not good for me that early) s/f ice pops s/f jello pureed home made chicken soup low fat cottage cheese no sugar added apple sauce Protein Shakes!!! I think that was it for the 1st 2 weeks, after that I started to add things and so far I really have not had anything other then the egg that my pouch did not like. I will try it again soon, they say if something does not agree try it again in a week or so. Best of luck and you will feel SOOOOOO much better once your get those drains out........ Take care Debra P

Hi Lisa: Congratulations on being one week out and welcome to the "losing side". I found the first week to be difficult too mainly because I didn't really want to eat anything at all. Here's what I ate: poached eggs, cream of wheat, pureed soup (yuck), tuna and mayo, egg drop soup, natural apple sauce, peaches (with no added sugar--some make it with Splenda), egg salad... Whatever was moist in consistency went down the easiest. What does your nutritionist and surgeon suggest? I just stayed with the lists of foods they gave me. Good luck with everything and remember...chew thoroughly and slowly. All the best, Karen
